## Summary

Rolls-Royce shares rose by more than 2.8 per cent in early trading after the company announced a new £1.5bn share buyback. The move reflects confidence in continued demand for its engines and progress in its turnaround, while returning more cash to shareholders.

In its third-quarter update, chief executive Tufan Erginbilgic said the company was on track to meet its full-year targets and would review its mid-term goals in February. Power Systems’ sales rose 62 per cent year on year in the nine months to October, with a record £8.6bn order book; demand from data centres helped drive gas engine orders to nearly three times their previous level. Rolls-Royce also reported strong demand in defence and civil aerospace, with about 2,500 engines in its aircraft backlog. Shares have gained more than 15 per cent this year and over 860 per cent in five years.
